Special Collections Overview
|
The Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library Special Collections contains the 19th
century library, the Landmarks in Modern Medicine collection, several museum
items and artifacts, the Greenblatt Archive, and a variety of Medical College of
Georgia institutional publications. Due to the rare, valuable and sometimes
fragile nature of historical items, materials in Special Collections must be
utilized in the Special Collections area only. At the discretion of the Special
Collections Librarian, reproductions may be obtained by library provided
scanning, reprinting, or photocopy at the most current Special Collections rates and schedules. The condition of the original, whether
the duplication process may damage the original, and adherence to copyright
policy and laws are the main factors when considering if an item is eligible for
duplication.
